our tutor wants us to watch "the Road" in preperation for next week. I've seen it before, and I swear we were just waiting for the annoying kid to die. It had some good bits but my god, how that kid survived the apocolypse is beyond me. But yeah, the cinematography was good (is that a word?) and thats what were focusing on for our post apocalyptic still life projects next week.
Anyway we played around with some text, translating it, seeing if meanings get confused and mixed up. I used peoples facebook statuses for mine.. But others were being a bit deeper, such as biblical quotes or looking at issues of immigration. My point for using the statuses is how jumbled and meaningless these constant updates are (she says as she updates her status "hey guys! new blog!") and i put it against an image of the empire state building. The building was meant to be a reference to the Biblical story about the Babel tower if you know it. If not, it sort of doubles as this symbolic american icon, and says about nationality and equality in "the great melting pot" that is america.
It was weird doing a one day project again, the panic really sets in when its half way through the day and youve done nothing.
Heres the results, Im more proud of some than others.
